Please respond to the question — and review HN’s guidelines, specifically:

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
